Ted asks about feeling like being a Christian is difficult when it seems like others aren’t struggling. Rod talks about what diet I’m getting that can cause such a struggle to occur, or make an existing struggle worse, and asks why St. Paul had hope while writing Philippians from jail, how the law is ubiquitous but that it was fulfilled for us by Jesus Christ, and the value of Christian apologetics.

Ted asks about the idea of ‘knowing that you know’ regarding your salvation. Rod talks about how a Lutheran answers, “How do you know [you are saved]?”, that different churches (denominations) should be able to tell you what they confess with regard to the question of assurance, and what the pastor’s job is to help sinners know, from Scripture.

Ted asks about how serious God is about the law in light of Jesus’ Gospel. Rod talks about closing with ‘let us’, whether the law is a good motivator for believing sinners to go each week and do what the law commands, and what St. Paul describes is our sinful reaction to the law—how the law stirs up our sin.

Ted asks about how God’s law in the Ten Commandments still applies to Christian believers. Rod talks about how rough God’s law is for sinners, the relationship between the law and Christ’s Gospel, and points to the book of Galatians to help clarify a healthy balance for sinners in light of Jesus’ perfect fulfillment of the law.

Ted asks about struggling with sin in the faith. Rod talks about what the Gospel of Jesus Christ is and why His Gospel is important for sinners who also confess ongoing sin in the faith as St. Paul did in Romans 7, and who Jesus died and rose from the dead for.

Ted asks about struggling to determine God’s plan for my life and for work. Rod talks about ‘talking to God’ and getting answers back, how Reformation thinkers approached questions like these, and the idea of ‘breaking through’ to a transcendent God in some kind of mystical experience to determine His secret will for me.

Ted asks about Rod’s path of faith after becoming an agnostic after his church experience. Rod talks about going to the University of Washington as an agnostic, what turned him back to the idea of theism, the idea of a conflict between science and the Christian faith, and how his connection to the hard sciences affected his path to being a Christian apologist.

Ted asks about Rod’s experience in church in his youth and what it did to his faith. Rod talks about Lutheran pietism and how law-focused and improvement-focused teaching and preaching affected him, and how that church experience affected his view of God and the Christian faith even when he was older in college as a pre-med student.
